| Discovery Notes | Phage Naha was isolated from a soil sample collected at 2 P.M. EST on 9/3/18. The collection location was an exposed dirt patch located 15-20 feet away from a trail located in Panther Hollow Lake. Weather at time of collection was sunny with temperatures at 88 degrees Fahrenheit. The soil was dry and solid but able to be broken up. Nearby vegetation included grass, bushes, and trees. |
| Naming Notes | Phage Naha is named after the capital city of Okinawa. Naha is the capital city for Okinawa which is an island located south of Japan within the Pacific Ocean. |

| Plaque Notes | Phage Naha produces plaques that are clear (indicating that phage Naha is possibly a lytic phage). The plaques have a range of variation from about 1 mm to 2.5 mm for the diameters. These sizes were calculated by printing out the plaque picture sheet and determining the scale. The petri dish has a diameter of 100 mm (10 cm) and the length of the diameter of the dish on the printed photo was 10 cm so the image was printed true to scale. The smallest plaques had a measured diameter of 0.1 cm (1 mm) and the largest plaques had a measured diameter of 0.25 cm (2.5 mm). The wide range of plaque sizes led to a numerous plaque purifications and even the implementation of an alternate plaque purification protocol to ensure that the range of plaque sizes were all produced by phage Naha. Phage Naha produces plaques that are circular, which is characteristic of plaques. |
